Alex Browning (portrayed by Devon Sawa) is going on a high school graduation trip to Paris with his fellow students. Before the Volée Air Flight 180's take-off, Alex has a premonition that the flight explodes in mid-air, killing everybody. Alex then wakes up and assumes the premonition was just a dream but as events from his vision begin to repeat themselves in reality, Alex panics and attempts to stop the flight before take-off. The resulting commotion leads to a handful of passengers being left behind, including Alex, a mysterious orphaned girl named Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), Alex's best friend Tod Waggner (Chad Donella), teacher Valerie Lewton (Kristen Cloke), Alex's rival Carter Horton (Kerr Smith), Carter's girlfriend: Terry Chaney (Amanda Detmer), and an ordinary student, Billy Hitchcock (Seann William Scott). After they are all forced off the plane, none of the passengers believe that Alex's vision will come true until the airliner takes off and explodes in mid-air killing everyone who was on board.
After Tod is killed in a mysterious accident, Alex begins to think that Death is intervening to kill the survivors, because they were meant to die on the plane, and by still being alive they have changed death's plan. While trying to convince Clear of his belief at a cafe, he is noticed by Carter, who promptly comes over to start an argument. Disgusted by the ensuing confrontation, Carter's girlfriend Terry storms off and is immediately killed by a bus. Afterwards Alex comes to the conclusion that Death is killing the survivors in the order the would have died in the explosion on the plane. He realises that Ms Lewton will be next, followed by Carter, Billy, Himself and finally Clear. Alex heads to Ms Lewton's house in the hope of saving her, however he arrives to late to stop her from being killed in a freak accident.
Alex then contacts Carter, Clear and Billy to tell them what he thinks is happening. As they are riding in Carter's car, Alex has another premonition of a train and a seatbelt ripping. Carter asks Alex if he knows who will die next, Alex reveals that he does but refuses to specify who to the group. Frustrated with not having control over his death, Carter stalls his car on a train crossing, wanting to kill himself before death does. At the last moment however he changes his mind but cannot exit his car as his seatbelt is jammed. Alex rushes to help Carter from his car, and as he foresaw, Carter's seatbelt rips and he is freed a second before the train hits the car. Billy however is killed by flying wreckage from the vehicle.
Alex believes that because he intervened in Carter's death he has saved Carter. Later he remembers in his original premonition he was asked to switch seats on the plane, and realises that Clear is actually the next to die. Alex rushes to Clear's house to find her trapped in her car surrounded by fire. She is unable to escape her vehicle that is obviously close to exploding as a damaged electrical cable is precariously flipping around outside. Alex saves her by picking up the live cable, he is seriously hurt from the electrical shock and is then thrown a significant distance when her car explodes. The screen fades to black and one can presume that Alex has been killed until the next scene is shown.
The final scene shows Alex, Clear and Carter in Paris talking about their experience and celebrating that it is over and they are finally in Paris. Alex brings up a theory that when someone intervenes to save a person, Death does in fact skip that person, however he will come back to try again. Clear and Carter brush the idea off as nonsense. Shortly thereafter a freak accident causes a giant sign to swing off half its hinges down towards Alex. Carter manages to intervene and pushes Alex to the ground, with the sign swinging down passed the two of them and back up again. Carter then stands up and turns to Alex who is still on the ground. He asks Alex "So if I just saved you, who's next?", before he finishes his sentence however the sign can be seen swinging back down on its momentum towards where Carter is now standing. The screen cuts to black a split second before the sign would hit Carter. His death is not actually shown but it is strongly implied, leaving Alex and Clear the only two survivors of Flight 180.

One of the best examples of why this series failed, in that this episode is a mess of inconsistent dream sequences and contrived conspiracy theory (it should have been called 'Some Must Switch Off'). However, what it does have is Julie Ann Emery as the pouty Terminator disguised as a nurse who ends up after coming back from being shot taking out both John Connor and Sarah Connor. If she'd known the series only had a few episodes left, maybe she could have saved some bullets?!
